Not acceptable.
During a podcast with Marc Meron, actor Mike Myers revealed his struggle during the filming of his now classic 1992 film "Wayne's World":
That the classic opening scene featuring Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was almost cut from the film!!
Myers said:
"An example of something I fought very, very hard for, and it was my first movie -- it was 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in Wayne's World,"
"Queen, at that point -- not by me and not by hardcore fans -- but the public had sort of forgotten about them,"
"Freddie [Mercury] had gotten sick, the last time we had seen them was on Live Aid and then there were a few albums after where they were sort of straying away from their arena rock roots. But I always loved 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' I thought it was a masterpiece. So I fought really, really hard for it. And at one point I said, 'Well, I'm out. I don't want to make this movie if it’s not 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'"
To the relief of Myers (and ultimately fans all over the world) director Penelope Spheeris relented and allowed the song to be used.
No shade against Guns N' Roses, but it just wouldn't have been the same.
We can all agree right?
